This is rather technical.
Researchers at Revel Pharmaceuticals and Calico Life Sciences have engineered CMLase, an enzyme that removes carboxymethyl-lysine (CML) — a glycation product long considered permanent damage on our longest-lived proteins. In this video I explain the details behind this discovery and what it means for the aging field.
